Plenty of pb potential on this course, first five miles are very flat other than a railway bridge. Small hill from Barnby Moor than flattens again for a mile or so, before a left turn in Torworth which brings a winding lane to the Blyth Road, this part contains some long inclines rather than hills. Mostly downhill from this point back to Barnby Moor and 9 miles, then it's a long indulating country road on to the main Worksop road (11 miles), when this point is reached there is a steady downhill slope before a short sharp hill at 12.5 miles before turning back into Ordsall and heading for the finish.

Hi knight rider and thanks for the advice. I am going to run at my target pace as evenly as possible although I might try to gain a little time in the first 5 miles. I am always respectful of the distance I am running though and so far have managed to avoid going too fast in the first half of the race.

I found it tough. Have had shin splints problems and they haven't entirely gone away! I wanted less than 3 hours and got about 2hrs 44mins so am pleased with that! Was 2nd to last but hey - somebodys got to come last!!!Well done Angie - my sister came in about that time too

Just to let you know the results are now on the East Retford Rugby Club site. The web page name is very long and complicated so just best to google "East Retford Rugby Club" . Hope everyone had a great race and you are now enjoying a well deserved rest.

I thoroughly enjoyed this event and I will definitely be back. Wasn't the weather perfect? I aimed to go under 1:35 and was thrilled to achieve 1:30:44. It is the flattest HM I have run and ran at a very even pace. I enjoyed a pint and some cake in the club house after . FJ I respect evey runner who runs and finishes irrespective of their time. Well done to you.
